I plan to run the DACI play with my team. We are a small group with clearly defined roles that will benefit from this play. Since we will be using this play, this will enable us to keep everyone on the same page and benefit from being in a small group.
In a small team, the Vision Creation Play will work wonders where I, as the leader, own the vision but want buy-in from my crew to produce the how and why.
The DAIC play seems like it would be very helpful for a game development team since the creative director or the lead developer can be the driver and the rest of the team will fall into place. The course has been very helpful in showing me different ways to organize workflow.
One strategic guidance play I would run with my team is Focus on High-Impact Priorities. In any organization, teams can get overwhelmed with tasks that may not contribute directly to the organization's core goals. By narrowing our focus on high-impact priorities, we ensure that efforts are aligned with the most important outcomes that will drive growth, innovation, and success. This strategic play helps reduce distractions and allows the team to allocate resources efficiently.
Definitely starting with the vision creation. Once it’s well defined and communicated, the team should be on its way to success. All in the same room at the same time (physical or virtual), whiteboard, and a dedicated facilitator! Now let’s talk about why I should get out of bed every morning!
I really like the idea of the provided Strategic Guidance plays and am currently looking forward to run the Vision Creation play with my new team. In the early phase of formation, I really do believe that it provides the best foundation from which to start working on.
I intend on bringing all the plays into my team running strategies, but the one that has had the most impact on my future planning is the goals, signals, and measures play.
